The meaning of "alias Clench" is a mystery. One theory is that, as was the custom in those days, it was used as a discriminant and "Clench" or "Clinch" was William's mother's maiden name.
William was the father of the four Logan brothers, all of Lincoln County, North Carolina, who fought at the Battle of King's Mountain on October 7, 1780, which was an important Patriot victory in the southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War.
William, Jr. and Joseph were Patriots and served in Mattock's Company as Whigs; Thomas and John were Loyalists and served with Ferguson's Unit of the British Army as Tories.
Children of William Logan are:
*William Logan II, 1749-1832, married Jane Black
*Joseph Logan, Baptist Minister, married Anna "Annie" Bias Zachariah
*Thomas Logan, 1750-1780, injured & left on battlefield (may have survived)
*John Logan b.1755. married Native American Pamela Collins in 1780.
